English Premier League Club, Manchester United have recorded a number of positive COVID-19 cases among players and staff after a number of players and staff returned positive lateral flow tests and were sent home from training on Sunday.

The club is set to clash with Brentford on Tuesday’s Premier League trip. Manchester United is the latest club to suffer an outbreak of COVID-19 in England. This comes after Red Devils’ Saturday’s Premier League match at Norwich.
